Tom Lee of Fundstrat declared the crypto bear market over if Bitcoin closes May above $76,000, marking three consecutive monthly gains. He highlighted tokenization and AI-powered finance as key drivers of the next crypto bull cycle, with stablecoins and tokenized assets becoming core infrastructure. Lee predicts crypto-native firms could surpass traditional banks within a decade, reshaping finance through blockchain efficiency and AI integration. This shift is supported by Bitcoin's recent price strength and growing institutional adoption of tokenized assets.
